Ryan's home for the holidays, before he moves far, far away for his new job (hey, check out my son! He graduated college last week, and he starts a great job in two weeks! Go Ryan!!) The first night he was home, I told him that the warm covers for the bed he's sleeping on were in the dryer, so...

Monday night, I opened a bottle of the first porter I brewed. I took a picture for the Internets that looks something like this: (click image to embiggen at Imgur) It turned out much better than I expected, considering there was a near disaster when I brewed it. Read on if you want to hear a s...

Pretty much all of Comicon was awesome. However, there was one thing that was decidedly not awesome, and though I had initially decided not to talk about it in public, it's bothered me since it happened, so I wrote about it on G+ earlier today. I'm cross posting it here, though, because it's imp...

I don't normally comment but since you asked, yes, this is my first time reading this one. ;) I felt bad for poor Young Wil (as I have oh so creatively named him) but it's good that Less-Young Wil is living a good life and knows it, despite perhaps a few regrets. =)
And the last line made me crack up. XD

I've written hundreds of thousands of words over the years, but this remains one of my all-time favorites, so I like to revisit it every year. It was originally written and published on July 5, 2002, which usually feels like years and days ago all at once, but this year actually feels like a lif...

A pair of twenty-something Bros, dressed and posed in a manner that was such a hilarious cliche, if I described them exactly as I saw them, my editor would have said, "no, that's too cliche," stood near the front of the store, communicating in some kind of Broglish that leaned heavily on the wor...

Your journey to the Dark Side is complete! *evil laughter*
No, but seriously, Pokemon White is the first game in the series I've bought since the Ruby/Sapphire days (I was a junkie as a kid) and even though I'm only in my early 20's I felt the same way when I went to pick it up.

I think he was going by this quote:
“It would appear that the emissions are 10 times higher. We understand it as a calculation error,” TSA spokesman Sarah Horowitz said in a telephone interview.
It sounds like she may have meant to say "the emmissions on the form" but Wil interpreted it as "the emissions from the machine." I almost thought the same myself until I re-read the part that says "would imply energy outputs that are unachievable by the Secure 1000 Single Pose."

Yesterday, I was touched -- in my opinion, inappropriately -- by a TSA agent at LAX. I'm not going to talk about it in detail until I can speak with an attorney, but I've spent much of the last 24 hours replaying it over and over in my mind, and though some of the initial outrage has faded, I st...

I don't really see how GP's end of the exchange can be explained by anything other than maliciousness or incompetence. Sadly that doesn't surprise me, because Gamepolitics has gone to crap since Dennis left (which depresses me on a regular basis as I used to LOVE that site).

Last night, I was supposed to perform in the Thrilling Adventure Hour at Largo with a bunch of my friends, and a bunch of people who I really admire. Unfortunately, the sinus infection I was fighting all week had other plans, so I stayed home and rested on the couch with a screening of Repo Man....
